If you’ve just started learning about canine training, you need all the help you can get. These are a few tips for starting out.
A dog needs a healthy diet as much as a dog owner does. A bad diet can cause your dog many problems. This can influence their behavior and harm their health. Training may very well go easier when dogs are given the proper nutrients in a healthful diet.
When training your dog, make it fun for the both of you. If you do so, your dog will feel closer to you, and even respond to training better. Training is fun for the dog, but you should set aside some real “play time” as well.
Your dog must learn that there is no need for it to respond to your utterance of the word ‘no.’ Find positive and supportive ways to train your furry friend. Saying ‘no’ is not a good command, and the dog won’t know how to react. Each dog has their own quirks.
Train your dog in a positive manner. Give your dog positive reinforcement if they do a good job. You should not hit or yell at your dog. Not only does it not work, it encourages the belief by the dog that you have no idea what is going on. Maintain a calm attitude anytime that your dog does wrong so that you can have a relationship o mutual respect with your dog.
Use the appropriate tone of voice when you are correcting your pet. Dogs can feel what they’re masters are feeling. A disciplinary command is best delivered in a stern tone.
As the tips above show, your training your dog will really pay off when your dog is behaving the way that you would like. After you begin using what you have learned, you will find your dog responding to you more positively.
